The West Bengal Health Scheme (WBHS), initiated by the Government of West Bengal through the Finance Department, is one of the most vital welfare initiatives for state government personnel and retired employees. Designed to remove the financial burden of essential healthcare, WBHS provides structured assistance for hospitalization, outpatient department (OPD) visits, and diagnostic procedures.
Unlike private health insurance plans that frequently impose rigid sub-limits, high deductibles, or complex waiting periods for pre-existing diseases, WBHS offers comprehensive medical protection. Beneficiaries include regular employees of the State Government, pensioners, family pensioners, All India Service (AIS) officers opting for the scheme, and declared dependents including spouses, children, and dependent parents.
Are diagnostic tests covered under WBHS? Yes! Outpatient diagnostics constitute a significant portion of healthcare management, especially for chronic ailments such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disorders, and thyroid dysfunctions. Diagnostic investigations prescribed by empanelled or recognized medical practitioners—ranging from complete blood counts, HbA1c, and lipid panels to digital X-Rays, abdominal ultrasound (USG), 2D Echocardiography, and digital EEG—are reimbursable under WBHS guidelines.
At CSA Medical Centre in Salt Lake (AG 22, Sector II), ALL OUR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ARE COVERED UNDER WBHS. State government beneficiaries receive NABL-accredited diagnostic precision, automated biochemistry, digital imaging, and authenticated test reports paired with official itemized cash memos that strictly comply with WBHS reimbursement documentation.
Beneficiaries can verify their active enrollment, check empanelled diagnostic guidelines, download claim forms, or track reimbursement applications directly on the official Government of West Bengal portal at https://healthscheme.wb.gov.in/.
